Feels like the ‘Wide Right’ curse is still haunting the Bills. They just can’t seem to shake it off. Another heartbreaking playoff loss to the Chiefs, marking the fourth time in five years they’ve fallen short. Talk about a brutal streak! But hey, while the Bills are licking their wounds, the Chiefs are celebrating another victory. And who better to chime in than Deion Sanders? After the AFC title game, Prime Time wasted no time showering praise on his favorite player, Travis Kelce, and the entire Chiefs squad.
In an exhilarating clash for the AFC Championship, the Kansas City Chiefs emerged triumphant over the Buffalo Bills with a narrow 32-29 victory, securing their spot in the Super Bowl. The intensity of the rivalry was palpable, but amidst the chaos, it was the Chiefs’ teamwork that made it all possible. And Deion Sanders, known for his colorful commentary, lavished praise on Kelce and Co. for their outstanding performance. “I got mad love for my brother @tkelce and I’m proud of all that he’s accomplished and I’m so darn happy for 1 of our games greatest receivers @DeAndreHopkins , Coach Reid & the @Chiefs Wow God is good,” he posted on X.

Deion Sanders made it clear he’s a huge Travis Kelce fan. No surprise there! The Chiefs played with fire, and every player brought their A-game. Travis Kelce was a standout, making two impressive receptions on four targets for a total of 19 yards, pushing the Chiefs closer to victory. But it’s not just the Buffs HC who recognized Kelce’s exceptional talents. Even Patrick Mahomes and Coach Andy Reid acknowledged that Kelce is truly one of a kind.
Mahomes even spoke about Travis’ knack for lateraling the pigskin to a teammate, watching them take off for more yards. He said, “He does that in practice, and it started off as kind of a joke, and now it’s kind of become a thing. As long as he completes it, Coach is going to keep letting him do it. But he knows the consequences if he doesn’t.”
Kelce’s lateral passes and next-level moves are just part of the Chief’s magic. No wonder Deion Sanders has a soft corner for him.
Deion Sanders’ love for his ‘lil brother’
Well, it’s evident that the Chiefs have crushed the Bills on more than one occasion, and Travis Kelce has consistently excelled in these games, earning praise from Deion Sanders. In the AFC Championship back in January last year, Kelce made an impressive 19-yard catch from Patrick Mahomes for the Chiefs’ first touchdown. Deion couldn’t contain his excitement and tagged Kelce with “@tkelce is HIM!!!”

During that game, Kelce continued to perform exceptionally well, recording five catches for 75 yards and two touchdowns in the Chiefs’ 27-24 divisional win over the Bills. He truly proves himself as a dominant force when it matters most. And let’s not forget Coach Prime, who always ensures that his favorite player receives recognition. It’s amazing how just a year ago, in the same month, Coach Prime was hyping Kelce, and here he is again, giving him another reason to praise him. Kelce’s consistency is unreal!
However, their bond extends beyond football. Deion Sanders shares a deep connection with Travis Kelce, describing him as “like a little brother.” Once Deion even said, “He’s [Kelce] the guy I can call at any time and be like, ‘Hey dawg, whatcha doing?'” It’s clear that Kelce is Deion’s go-to guy. He knows he can always count on him, someone he trusts completely.
Now, the Chiefs are heading to their fifth Super Bowl in six seasons. In a rematch of Super Bowl LVII against the Eagles, Kelce will undoubtedly shine once again on February 9. In fact, the tight end has a chance to double down on Deion Sanders’s Super Bowl rings in two weeks. Can he do it? Coach Prime is watching closely
